Doesn’t apple already have a search engine? Where do the results for Siri suggestions come from? (I really don’t know) Just this morning I searched “air purifier” in safari and it suggested the wirecutter “best air purifiers” article

You’d hope that’s what it means but in practice they ship whatever they have by the deadline and often whatever they have means… “obscure bugs”

I might be in the minority, but I actually really like the new features of the official twitter app. I mostly use twitter as a way to keep on top of interesting things that are happening in my fields, and I find that twitter is pretty good

For me recently it hasn't worked at all for example - I'm signed into reddit on the webapp, I click a link on the front page, it renders the page, then overlays a popup saying "this page is only available in the app" and

Sorry, I said 2016, but I meant 2019. I was (in my head to be fair) comparing an 8 core Mac Pro 2019 to a 8 core 2019 MacBook. I did later upgrade to 16 cores though

A Mac Pro (2019) - I was/am using the 2019 Macbook Pro, but under heavy load (compiling rust/flutter mostly) the machine would get slower and slower as it became more and more heat saturated, and worse, when driving an external mo

I can imagine why you think that, but actually it works really well. I could write a blog post about it if there is some interest.

We are currently between 3-7 services per dev depending on how you count (~40 services developed in house, ~70 if you include third party micro services we run) It would likely be insurmountable if not for using kubernetes, we choice the id

by edude03 5y ago
> Microservices does not mean Kubernetes. The idea that to properly implement microservices, you need to set up a k8s cluster and hire 5 devops guys that keep it running is just flat-out wrong. You don’t need to use kubernetes but I stro

Minor nit: functions as a service are almost exactly this - and they (from a technical perspective) don’t wait to be called, they pop into existence just in time. Arguably though it’s not special tools is just different tools. You usually c

1 is “trivially” solved using something like dolthub.com - 2 I think is more a problem of FOSS economics. If a maintainer only wants to ship reproduced copies of a model - who should pay for the very expensive GPU compute to do so? Today mo

Very easy but my understanding is you’d end up with an unplayable disc still because you need to perform decryption to get a file ffmpeg can play. That said makemkv does work on ISOs of discs made with a libredrive

Certificates are awesome on paper (I’m a big fan of WebAuth for example) but we need some sort of custodianship for less technical users who don’t realize that formatting their laptop means they might not be able to log into their services

That is exactly how it does (or did?) work with the Apple SIM card in an cellular iPad. You unlock the iPad it asks which network you want to connect to, and you pay with your credit card for the duration you choose

This seems like a closed source version of tinacms or am I wrong?

Personally I am yes, but I know that's not the case everywhere. I get that you mean in terms of ROI, but that's ROI for the business, not for you the customer. So I guess what I'm getting at is, why would you suggest the thin

No, because 5g is a shared medium. It can deliver... 3 gigabit/s? or something like that? Let's say it's 10Gb. That's 10gb shared with everyone in the vicinity, which is not great especially in high density areas like ap

No, it definitely (but unfortunately) will not. Nix does everything docker does better than docker does, except most crucially, integrate with non nix tooling. Nix vs Docker is like Rust vs JavaScript - you can point out every reason js is

I am currently running ceph actually! Out of the box, only having NVME in my storage pool, with 100GB interconnects, I'm getting about 50Mbit/s in Fio write tests. I'm not a storage expert, or a ceph expert clearly, but so fa

Yep, despite being big fan of serverless I feel like most useful? (for lack of a better word) Serverless deployments are predicated on locking you in while decreasing the cost for the platform operator. Take serverless DBs for example. If y
